Reverse drug sting yields seven arrests

Westhouston, i feel you man, just SAY that then. Don't leave it all up and ambiguous like mah nuckah.

Yes, us Caucasians are the largest drug user group by percentage. Bring it on!(: More the Merrier for xmas

i am all for soft drugs, medium drugs and psykedelikz

We need to heal people who are so empty they need to crave coke, horse, and speed nonstop all day. they are slaves to that stuff, i have known them. i have BEEN them for a few months. ugly. but not solvable by prohibition as we all can see.

Well, my conclusion to this so called war oon drugs is this: I believe that its a huge waste of money and resources. bottom line. think of the money our goverment wastes trying to make arrests or gather information, and secondly think of the resources (man power/hours) used (better term would be wasted) on stake outs, intellegence, and judicial process. Not to mention the fact that the majority of the prison population (considering also that its over crowded) is in prison for a drug conviction that wasnt even a viollent crime, plus how much we spend to house these individuals. I read it costs the state something like $28,000 a year to house and feed each inmate every year. this is ridiculous. I mean, at that rate, they should be able to just provide everyone in the united states with a job that pays that. Im sure it would be more condusive. Furthermore.. is rehabilitating an individual for a period of 1 - 5 years in jail something that you would think would conform them to become "NON-ADDICTS"? If anything, these people do more drugs in jail then on the streets. All this institutionalization does is teach people how to become better criminals. Its like college for junkies. Really. i think the concensus is something ridiculous like, 1 out of 20 inmates (2.5%) arrested for some sort of drug charge actually succeed in turning their life around and staying sober for a period of more then 5 years of their release.(not to mention that after 5 years, a majority of them go back to using) What about the other 97.5% that become repeat offenders. These statistics are just down right ridiculous. how can they say that the "system" is working when the proof IS NOT in the pudding? Now dont get me wrong, i do believe that actions and certain litigation should be processed, however, the current penalties are way out of line. They should consider programs, fines, and removing jail time if there is no harm toward another individual. Anyone agree with me?
